Driver Loader


Description

New and Improved V3.0! Installing and starting NT kernel mode drivers can be a
hassle. This is especially true during the development stage of a project,
before you've built an attractive gui-based custom installation program. Now,
OSRLOADER eliminates your trouble. This GUI-based tool will make all the
appropriate registry entries for your driver, and even allow you to start your
driver without rebooting. It's even got a help file, for goodness sakes! If you
write drivers, this is another one of those utilities that's a must have for
your tool chest. x86 architecture.

Running WinXP. Testing out a simple Helloworld debug print driver.

"Driver Loader"
I've been using this tool for a while and it really helps out in the early
development stages of driver development. It makes it convenient to load and
unload the prototype driver.

"RE: Driver Loading/Unloading in W2K3"
Both net {start|stop} drivername and OSR Loader should still work fine on Server
2K3 with legacy drivers. When you say "doesn't work", what exactly do you mean?
Does it not start, not unload, or both?

22-Jan-04, Scott Noone


--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

"Driver Loading/Unloading in W2K3"
I have an NT4 driver, and on NT4 and W2k I used to be able to unload it and
reload it (so it could pick up fresh registry parameters for testing), using a
command window by stopping any services dependent on it, then typing NET STOP
MYDRIVER followed by NET START MYDRIVER. This was convenient for a non PNP
driver because I could see its "early" (D-init) debug output without a full
kernel debugger setup, ie. running debug monitor app. I can't do this on W2k3
now, I don't think this Driver Loader Utility would help. Any suggestions for
unloading/loading an old driver manually on w3k3?
